Summary

• Sue Johnson (2009) Patsy and Josh are a volunteer couple, already in Emotionally Focused Therapy.

• They are further helped through an EFT session with Sue Johnson.

• Patsy, suffering from deep wounds of the past, is vulnerable and fearful, and often shuts down—even though she knows her actions prevent connection with Josh.

• Her husband tries to be caretaker and nurturer.

• Johnson helps them stay with emotion, expand their connection and shapes their interaction bringing both to a safer, more loving place.
